LIBERALS HAVE IT ALL WRONG WHEN IT COMES TO GLOBAL WARMING


Naomi Klein, in her recent book “This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate,” makes the point that “the right is right,” that is to say that the right has its act together, unlike many liberals. The right realized from the outset that the real solutions to global change clashed with their anti-statist, laissez faire philosophy and from there they embraced the position of global warming denial. Liberals, on the other hand, believe that combating global warming can be a win-win situation with corporations actually benefiting and creating jobs in the process. Klein convincingly argues that combating global change implies combating capitalist interests, if not capitalism itself.
